Ficlets

Numbers pop up in funny places.

Half heartedly, Johnson placed his items on the counter.
“Thank you for shopping at PriceMart, we keep the price smartâ€? The clerk said, as she began to scan the items, moving as if she was in a state of deep hypnosis.
Hardly looking around, seemingly focused on the task at hand, and showing little emotion, she finished scanning and said “Your total is $57.00.â€? Handing over his check card, Johnson paid, gathered his items and walked out of the store.
He parked near the entrance, and as he arrived at his car, he couldn’t help but notice he had taken longer then expected. Glancing down at his watch he saw it was 5:35PM, he was beginning to run late.
Placing all the items inside the trunk of his car, he used one of his windows as a mirror, fixed his tie, and tugged at his shirt. His sense of style was something he prided himself with, today it was a navy blue button down shirt,
the tie had orange stripes with navy blue accents, his pants, Belt, Socks, and shoes were all black.
Simple, yet fashionable.
